Description One half of a double bill, performed with Barry Dickins' "Interrogation of Angel". "The Age" critic Leonard Radic described it as 

"...a delicious piece of sit-down Kosher comedy about a lively Jewish family of eccentrics, all five of whom have a marked instinct for the theatrical. Over dinner - a lavish spread of soup and Edgell peas straight from the can - they smoke exploding cigars, eat a bicycle pump or two, and reminisce, while trying seance-like to contact the spirit of their departed daughter Rinskie."
